It is only the consciousness of a nonexistence which allows us to realize for moments that we are living.

Everything has some consciousness, and we tap into that. It is about energy at its most basic level.

Consciousness, when it's unburdened by the body, is something that's ecstatic; we use the mind to watch the mind, and that's the meta-nature of our consciousness; we know that we know that we know, and that's such a delicious feeling, but when it's unburdened by biology and entropy, it becomes more than delicious: it becomes magical.

Consciousness, rather than being something that we have, is something we participate in.

For me, consciousness is non-local, not limited to the body, and can exist independent of it.

Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable.

There's a constant drip and trickle of life that goes into one's awareness really and consciousness of things.

I sometimes ask people, 'Can you be aware of your own presence? Not the thoughts that you're having, not the emotions that you're having, but the very presence of your very being?' You become aware of your own presence by sensing the entire energy field in your body that is alive. And that is the totality of your presence.

Consciousness is a phase of mental life which arises in connection with the formation of new habits. When habit is formed, consciousness only interferes to spoil our performance.

The study of consciousness that can extend beyond the body is extremely important for the issue of survival, since it is this part of human personality that would be likely to survive death.
